Elin Hilderbrand Declines TV Writing, Announces New Book

Elin Hilderbrand, author of "The Five-Star Weekend," has stated she has no interest in writing for television, despite the recent adaptation of her novel for Peacock. The series, which dropped this week, stars Jennifer Garner and was created and written by Bekah Brunstetter. This marks the first adaptation of Hilderbrand's work for television. Her previous novel, "The Perfect Couple," was adapted for Netflix and has been renewed for a second season.

In addition to her stance on television writing, Hilderbrand also revealed that she is working on a new book. While specific details about the plot or title of this upcoming novel were not disclosed, the announcement comes as her literary career continues to expand into visual media. Hilderbrand's novels have consistently been bestsellers, with "The Five-Star Weekend" being a notable success in 2023.

The adaptation of "The Five-Star Weekend" on Peacock is based on Hilderbrand's 2023 novel of the same name. The series was developed by Bekah Brunstetter, known for her work on "Maid" and "This Is Us." The success of "The Perfect Couple" on Netflix, which has secured a second season, highlights the growing interest in adapting Hilderbrand's stories for a wider audience. However, Hilderbrand's personal preference remains focused on the written word.
